It’s the first serious attempt to bring top-tier robotics into entertainment instead of factories.
Hugo from Dynamic Creatures is a prototype intended as the first in a series of robots designed to interact with humans in everyday settings.
Most robots register a person as an obstacle to slow down for. Hugo is built to treat your face, voice and movement as the input that drives what it does next.
Introducing Hugo: the first human companion robot.
At Boston Dynamics, I was Chief Strategy Officer, bringing robots into the real world.
My co-founder, Farbod Farshidian, led research at the RAI Institute.
Together, 15+ years teaching robots to run, jump, and work.
So we asked: what if robots could connect with people?
Hugo runs on the first Vision-Language-Expression (VLE) model.
He links what he sees and hears to movement, expression, and gesture.
He notices you, reads the room, and reacts in real time.
And he's only the first.
Dynamic Creatures is @BostonDynamics' official entertainment and hospitality partner.
We're building a cast of characters with film studios, resorts, and theme parks.
